fasting is good if its controlled, mainly do things like plan to only do it one day, or until nighttime. if you know you are going to do it only a length you can deal with, less pressure. and having a healthy meal planned so you don't give in and eat a whole bag of potato chips or whatever.
anyway fasting is more complicated and not really necessary for most people. i do think it can be good to teach yourself to better recognize feeling of hunger. i forget who said but 'eat because you're hungry is as silly as crawling in bed just because you feel tired.' (um, of course there was this:
A student once asked his teacher, "Master, what is enlightenment?"
The master replied, "When hungry, eat. When tired, sleep.")
